More like nyen, as in it rhymes with the first syllable of the name 'sienna'

For an English speaker, it sounds like "knee-N", as in the body part and the letter.
*Note than "an" in Pinyin sounds much more like an "en" to English speakers, eg. 年 sounds like "nien" and 天 sounds like tien.

There is no separate "ni" in 年, it's one whole syllable "nian", sounds as "n-yan"

Nee-yen is correct. Actually nee-en will also sound right if you say it fast and smooth enough.
